Two drummsrs were quietly riding back
to Washington, one day last Week, smoking
their cigars and recounting the big bills of
goods they sold TO their friends out at Dan
burg, Delhi and other places, when sudden
~ there was great connection in the
buggy. One man piled out on one side and
the other man on the other side. The
racket startled the horse and he made up
the road at break-neck speed, with the
buggy smoking like a locomotive. After
running 200 yards the horse found an in
viting place to Craze, and the breathless
travelling men finally got out their burning
umbrellas and lap cloth. which were com
pletely burned up. They say that here
after they will be more careful with the
cigars that are on fire.
Gov. Gordon was in consultation Friday
with Attorney General Anderson. in regard
to the convict investigation. The confer
ence between these two officials will last
much longer than was at first supposed,
questions having arisen that must be adju
dictated before a decision can be reached
The Governor has femiliarized himself with
all the evidence, and no trouble is being
experienced on that score, the consultation
being understood to be solely about and
upon legal questions. 1t is difficult TO say
Just when decision will be reached. When
the question was asked his excellency Fri
day, he was unable to give a definite an
swer, but with reasonable certainty declared
that he did not see how any conclusion
could be arrived at before some time during
the early part of next week.
1t will be remembered that when the Sc
ries of bonds known as the Atlantic and
Gulf bonds were issued, the actual time of
issue was six months later than the date on
the first coupons, and the coupon having
matured before issue, it was detached, and
the bonds with thirty nine coupons attached
were delivered. When the bonds, or those
with one coupon detached matured, the last
six months interest was not represented by
any coupon, and while it was undenlably
due, Treasurer Hardeman refused to pay it
for the reason that the absence of the cou-
pom would leave him without a voucher 1t
was necessary that the General Assembly
pass a resolution authorizing the Treasurer
to pay the last six months interest, and
Thursday the Senate passed the measure,
thus completing the authority. Some of
these bonds are held by Henry Clews, of
New York, and the temporary delay in the
payment of the interest has been used
against the credit of the State in Wall street,
tslt happily without effect. Clews and his
IS1'ty have waged war against Georgia be-
caDse of the so-called reputation of the
fraudulent bonds issued Just after the war
